Title: Improved Releasing Devices for Ship's Boats.
Inventor: ROTHWELL WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1902-10-03
Granted: 1903-03-12
Abstract: 21,577. Rothwell, W. H. Oct. 3. Boat disengaging and supporting gear.-Fig. 1 shows the inboard half of the apparatus, the outboard part being, as far as necessary, similar to it. The chocks a are shaped to fit the bottom of the boat and rounded, as shown in Fig. 3. Both chocks are hinged to a beam b, which is, in turn, bolted to a plate g. The plate is hinged at each end to a support k, and is propped up by a plate l hinged at m. The plate l has a lug s, which is engaged by a hook q on a lever h, and is thus held in its place while the lever is vertical ; but, when the lever is pulled towards the left in Fig. 2, the plate l is pushed outwards by a spur q<1>, and the plate g drops, together with the beam band chocks. The chocks are normally held in position on the beam by studs d and hooks e, but the lever h, when moved, bears on an arm t, which disengages the hooks, and thus allows the chocks to turn on their hinges when the beam falls. The device may be modified in details, and means are used whereby the lever h forcibly draws the chocks away from the bottom of the boat in case they should have adhered to it. Means are also employed for loosening the lashings by which the boat is held in place. These are shown in Fig. 9. A slip-hook x, attached to the lashing y, is held in place by a spur u<1> projecting from the beam b. The tackle by which the boat is suspended from the davits is drawn hand taut, the chocks are then removed in the way described above, and the movement of the beam b releases the slip-hook, thus loosening the lashings.

A brush and mop are arranged at the same end of a handle E, the mop being wetted or rinsed by passing it through a hole g in the cover of a bucket or container G, into water which partially fills the bucket. The cover of the latter is formed of one or more trays L, adapted to hold soap &c., the trays being perforated or otherwise, and, if flat, being also flanged to prevent the soap from slipping through the hole g. Fitted to the bucket G is a squeezing-device, consisting of a fixed, ribbed, or perforated plate, in front of which is arranged a hinged plate B, which normally rests against a stop D forming part of the bucket cover; or both plates may be perforated and movably mounted, in which case they are preferably linked together so as to move simultaneously in opposite directions. After the mop is removed from the bucket G, it is inserted between the plates, so that a hook F on the handle E engages with the movable plate B, when a forward push of the handle causes the plate B to squeeze the mop to any desired extent between it and the plate A. A hook K on the end of the mop is adapted to engage with a projection on the bucket G, so that the mop may be supported on the bucket, but out of the water, when not in use. Instead of using the handle E as an operating- handle, a lever, operated by hand or foot, may be used to close the squeezing-device, after the insertion of the mop. A handle, mounted by a bail N hooked on ears O, enables the apparatus to be conveniently carried about. A second grip may also be provided. The bucket G may also be provided with small rollers or the like, so that it may be moved about without being lifted.
